Title: Stroke operation prediction for three-dimensional digital content
Inventor: JINGWAN LU
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2017-12-14
Abstract: Three-dimensional digital content is generated by receiving stroke data (602, 604 & 606) describing an input stroke operation via a user interface (UI). A cycle (or cycles) is generated defining a closed path within the 3D content based on the input stroke operation and at least one other stroke operation (which may be constructed automatically), and a surface (202) is constructed based on the generated cycle, the surface generation may include generating surface mesh vertices based on the cycle using bilinear interpolation. A predicted stroke operation is generated (652) based on the constructed surface, and the predicted stroke is then output in real time in the UI as part of the 3D digital content as the stroke operation data is received. The cycle may further be generated based on at least one constraint, e.g. distance, turn direction or length analysis. The predicted stroke may be based on a high-level structure exhibited by existing stroke operations, may be used to fill the surface, or may be configured to mimic or copy another existing stroke. The predicted stroke may be output by selection by a user via a UI, or may cease to be output upon non-selection within a time threshold.

At a location fore of the axis interfacing surfaces are at an inclination to the axis, twisting along the length of the curved section, so at an aft location they are oppositely orientated. Preferably, the interfacing surfaces 1102 are formed from either upper or lower skins 1100 of the wing/wingtip, with the wingtip interface facing upward fore of the axis and downward aft, the wing surface facing downward fore and upward aft. The curved section may form a transition between an aft length 1037, offset from the primary cut plane, to a fore length 1041, extending within a plane containing the rotational axis, orientated in the flight direction, or perpendicular to a wing spar.

Title: Multi-model detection of objects
Inventor: Claire Nord
IPC: G06V10/25
Filed: 2020-07-30
Abstract: An object detection computer system, method, and program for detecting objects of interest in images of scenes scanned by a screening system (e.g. an airport luggage scanner). The computer system receives an image 502. Two object-detection models independently generate different sets of object-detection conclusions 504. Discrepancies between the two sets of conclusions are reconciled by: determining a measure of similarity 506 between object localisations identified by each detection model (e.g. the overlap of bounding boxes), defining a plurality of candidate partitions 508, at least one of which is based in part on the measure of similarity, and deriving a reconciled set of conclusions based on a weight assigned to one or more candidate partition 510. The reconciled conclusions are used to determine that the image contains an object of interest 514. Object conclusions may include classifications (e.g. gun, knife, sharp) (Fig.6) with an associated confidence level, and a localisation of the object within the image. Detection of an object of interest may trigger the display of a visualisation relating to the object detection conclusions on a screen or trigger the screening system to perform a pass-through operation. Feedback relating to the models’ performance may be used to modify the weighting.
